Definitely far more tempting than the Chibi Marvel Heroes. I might have to get in on this one. I think my last KS with CMoN was Black Plague.....

Yep I am the same - be interested to see how many people we get and who. def ones I want and just as many I don't - no interest in anything Spiderman related or Galaticus - so might have some nice resales or give aways!

Might be interested depending on the fig scale and variety. Marvel Zombies was the era I was last into comics (albeit only by then getting trades eventually and not monthly floppies).

Saw a bunch of new things for preorder at miniature market.

Recess Games has a sale. Some Asoiaf spotted:

Some SDCC Marvel Zombies pics from CMON

Spoiler for size

That... looks a lot better than I would have imagined after seeing the Silver Surfer.

While I probably should not back this, I most likely will because I am a fan of Marvel, and I love the idea of playing zombies trying to eat the super heroes. And the rest of the town.

I can't figure out how to buy the stuff at their advertised prices...

Do I have to enter in a code?

Right now they are having a pair of sales...if you order more than 2 ASOIF items it defaults to the 30% instead of 50%. You may have to call them...

I might be in if the offer an expansion/mode to play the heroes against the Zombies...

Otherwise, I'll probably pass.

I might be in the minority, but the whole Marvel Zombies thing is not that appealing to me.

Hmm... Looks like a great way to get alt poses for Crisis Protocol too.

Very different scale unfortunately.

I have to admit it's a clever spin on the Zombicide formula, where this time the bad guys are the SHIELD Agents and non-zombified heroes.

Zombicide is 25mm (pushing a little more towards 28mm more recently), Marvel Crisis Protocol is 40mm.

The top of the Marvel Zombicide characters will be about mid-chest height on the Crisis Protocol characters.

Huh, hadn't realized CP was so big!

Yeah. Scale creep across the industry in general makes it not IMMEDIATELY obvious, but they're generally taller or roughly the same size as Primaris.

Don't fret though, they upscaled Heroclix so now they're right in line with MCP. Though they did that only a few sets ago, so you don't have a complete range to choose from yet.

(As an aside, I become a lay expert in model scale since there were always so many questions about it during Kickstarter campaigns, and Zombicide is a 32mm scale, way bigger than 25mm. I was just measuring some Deadeye Walkers I had out to paint, and standing straight up they'd be at least 36mm tall, 33mm to the eye.)

Zombiecide 32mm according to the creators, 25mm is 1 inch the size of old 80s Citadel minis and Zombicide/CMON minis are way bigger

Sorry for poor quality but finally remembered to do a size comparison shot for you.

So basically primaris sized for normal humans? I wasn't expecting that at all but admittedly I don't followthe game closely.

Saw some pics of the new LANNISTER and STARK starter sets on Reddit.

I am excited for the Lannister one.

Marvel Zombies design diary #1

Hero Dashboards

Looks like the Starks are getting Umber Berserkers, Karstark spears, and Sworn Swords in the starter box.

I wonder if there will be another unit or if they will just double up on Sworn Swords.

Starks are the army I like the least... based purely on how the units look. If they are resculpting the base stark units then I might pick them up.

As it is, I have both Tully units and the she-bears as I DO like them, The Tully Cavaliers are probably the best looking cavalry unit released so far. I also like the Karstark Spearmen... so I am debating.

I collect the Lannisters, the Baratheons, and all neutrals. I had the freefolk starter, but gave it to a friend to try and get someone to play with. It worked and he recently picked up the Main starter (Stark vs Lann) and the Greyjoy starter. But I have still never played a single game.

Edit. I was kind of jealous as he got the Stark vs Lannister starter for $40 on Black Friday.

Yeah they are resculpting the starter units as I understand. The sworn swords are pretty boring.

I expect them to be more like the SheBears level quality.

I really hope that teased neutral infantry in plate armor is just like the hedge knights, neutral heavy infantry that are not a unique mercenary group would be so cool.

Yeah, that would be cool.

A retailer I know looked at the upcoming product codes, and says that he thinks they are actually the Golden Company, but I didn't quite follow his logic. We will see!

Either way, what we've seen of them is very promising.

BGG mentioned $20 for Z:Invader:Black Ops expansion.

There are pics of the new Lannister and Stark sculpts on Reddit. The lannisters look great, but the starks are really nice. I made have ti add the new stark starter after all.

I was already planning on getting the Lannister starter, but I dont actually need anything in it as I already have 3 guardsmen and 3 halberdiers...,
